Like all the sequels to the first highlander movie this offers yet another version of events and another creation myth for the immortals.
It is certainly darker than the originals, but offer a more CGI based file than the others.
Its does draw upon some of the experiences of the previous films and also the series, its keeps the samurai sword, and links to the highlanders lost loves.
Not the best alternative story line for the highlander sequence, but certainly worth seeing if your a true highlander fan.
